Hi, Iām Morgan!
Your friend who knows all the insider travel tips.
Picture this: It's the year 2000, and my parents are packing up our entire life to move to Europe. I was four, so obviously I wasn't much help with the logistics, but those five months exploring 10+ countries? That's where my love affair with travel began.
Growing up, we spent summers bouncing between European cities and American national parks. And before you think "wow, that sounds expensive" - we were a family of three living on two teacher salaries. Honestly, that's where I learned my first lesson about accessible luxury.
I became the friend who planned epic road trips and navigated international metro systems like it was second nature. By college, when I studied abroad, I was naturally the one my friends turned to for planning our weekend adventures.
But it wasn't until my honeymoon that I truly discovered what "luxury travel" could look like on a real budget.
Here's the thing - I'm a first-grade teacher (education runs in my blood), so my travel investment has never been unlimited. But I was determined to have a honeymoon that would create lifelong memories without creating lifelong debt. And I absolutely nailed it. Multi-city itinerary, private tours, incredible culinary experiences, seamless transportation, blending the unique travel styles of myself and my husband - the whole nine yards.
That's when it hit me: luxury isn't just about the price tag. It's about traveling with confidence and ease, being present in the moment instead of stressed about logistics, and knowing that every detail (and dollar) has been thoughtfully accounted for.
The numbers speak for themselves: 49 out of 50 states (Texas, I'm coming for you!), over 20 countries, and countless friends and family members who've trusted me to plan their adventures. While I specialize in US and European travel, I've also explored Central America and have an African safari at the very top of my bucket list.
Here's what makes my approach different: I believe your money should go toward creating memories, not paying planning fees. As someone who's planned luxury experiences with a wide variety of price points, I know exactly how to find that sweet spot between dream destination and reality check.
My heart is with couples in their 20s and 30s, and young families who want to explore the world together. And yes, I'm a huge believer that you can and absolutely should travel with kids - some of my favorite trips have been family adventures!
